I'm freaking heart-broken about this. I was SO excited to see it when it came. The cover is knockout, and I love love love the idea - a bunch of woman getting together to do a Kickstarter to do a women-run comics anthology in full color, in a collective, collaborative way.

Again, this is full-color!

I'm pretty crest-fallen to find that this is one anthology I just can't bring myself to finish. It's due at the library, several times over, and I'm just not motivated to keep reading. I haven't really enjoyed any of the stories. Some of the pin-ups are pretty cool, but both the storytelling and the art feels weak. At least in the first third.

An extra star bc the concept is so awesome.
